Operating Engineer

Hoisting and Portable

Whether it’s the roads you travel on, the bridges you cross, the tunnels you whisk through, the subway systems you ride; or the buildings and complexes where you work, receive medical care, view sporting events; or the dams, pipelines, oil refineries and rigs, and petro-chemical plants you rely on for water and energy needs; or programs to rid your schools and communities of asbestos and hazardous materials and waste; it is likely that they were built and are operated and serviced by members of the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE). Because it is Operating Engineers who survey the sites, make the cuts, hoist the steel and slabs, do the final grading, operate, and maintain the finished product.

We operate the bulldozers, the motor graders, the backhoes, the cranes helping to form and shape the infrastructure and skylines. We work the mines and dig wells.
